As we get more towards the proper midterm election season we'll inevitably start seeing more of this 'both-sides/hopeless' stuff that does little other than to help suppress the vote...

    Vote for the lesser of the two evils, for sure. But at the same time we can also recognize that they are, indeed, two evils.

  • Both sides hopeless, nah. But it's important to recognize whose interests lie with corporations and whose do not. Overall, the Democrats are the more left-wing party, and I've been loving a lot of the younger politicians coming from the Democratic Party.

  • How does it help suppress the vote? I have had things to complain about regarding Democrats that are *valid complaints* for 26 years, since I could legally vote. I haven't just bowed out of voting due to those valid complaints. I see this trotted out a lot, but I'm curious who you're actually referring to. Harris wasn't my cup of tea, I was especially upset that we didn't even get an actual primary because of Biden's idiocy and backtracking on his promise of being a one-term President, but I still fucking voted for her. I see this sentiment around a lot, and it seems like it does little other than prevent Democratic voters from ever being allowed to voice their valid complaints about their own party and instead are supposed to suck it up and play pretend that everything is perfect like Republicans do with their party.
